The new show *Boston Blue* kicked off on TV in 2025, bringing back Donnie Wahlberg as Detective Danny Reagan. While the series is set in Boston, hints suggested we’d see some returning characters. It was already known that Bridget Moynahan would reprise her role as Erin Reagan for the premiere, and viewers enjoyed seeing her support her brother after Sean was hospitalized. However, that wasn’t the only surprise appearance, and fans were thrilled by another unexpected guest.

So, the new *Freaky Friday* is finally out to own digitally, and it comes with some cool behind-the-scenes stuff. I was especially fascinated by the featurette called “Making Things Freakier.” The director, Nisha Ganatra, talked about filming that wild car chase scene with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan – you know, when they’re stuck in each other’s bodies and tearing around L.A. in Jake’s car. She was explaining how they actually shot it, and it sounded pretty crazy!

So, I just finished watching *Agatha All Along*, and honestly, it got me thinking. Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Scarlet Witch, has been really wanting to bring the character back for the next big *Avengers* movies – *Doomsday* and *Secret Wars*. It makes you wonder… will we actually get a Season 2 of *WandaVision*? The answer seems to be… possibly? It’s not a definite yes, but there’s definitely a chance!

During an appearance on the *Happy, Sad, Confused* podcast with Josh Horowitz, James Gunn revealed that certain scenes in *Superman* sparked intense disagreements during editing. One example was a moment where Superman saves a squirrel. Gunn fought to keep the scene, despite significant pushback from some viewers who questioned why Superman would bother with such a small rescue. He explained that the squirrel was about to be hit by a falling tail and was undeniably cute. Gunn was surprised by the number of people who disliked the scene, even in a city like Los Angeles, noting that actor Michael Rooker is a squirrel hunter and eater. Ultimately, the squirrel scene became a major point of discussion during the film’s post-production.

Leonardo DiCaprio is a big admirer of Stanley Kubrick’s groundbreaking 1968 science fiction film, *2001: A Space Odyssey*, a thought-provoking story about humanity’s journey through evolution, technology, and faith. In 2025, DiCaprio revealed he’s producing a documentary called *Monolith* alongside Mike Medavoy and a team of collaborators. The documentary, set to be released in 2026 and directed by Stevan Riley, will delve into the lasting influence of the iconic film, despite the fact that it originally received negative reviews from critics.

Okay, so this movie is set in modern-day LA and it follows this film editor, Arj, who’s really hitting a rough patch. He’s working a bunch of dead-end jobs just to get by, and honestly, he’s pretty down on life. The one good thing he has going for him is Elena, a coworker who’s super driven and wants to fight for better working conditions. Then things get *weird*. Arj ends up delivering something to this ridiculously wealthy tech billionaire, Jeff, who’s basically living the high life. Meanwhile, there’s this angel, Gabriel, who has the surprisingly unglamorous job of stopping people from texting while driving. He’s told to leave things alone, but he’s convinced there’s someone he can *really* help. He sees how much Arj is struggling and decides to switch their lives – a decision that immediately backfires. Now, Arj has to figure out if his old life was worth anything, and Gabriel has to deal with the chaos of being rich *and* help Jeff survive on the streets. It’s a total mess, but a funny one!

There are tons of horror TV shows available to stream, ranging from lesser-known favorites to iconic scary series. Surprisingly, many of the best ones don’t last very long—often fewer than four seasons—and there’s a show out there for every level of horror fan, from those who get easily frightened to those who love extreme gore.

Amidst the drama of the U.K./U.S. summit at Chequers, Austin Dennison and his wife, Thema Aseidu-Dennison (played by Tracy Ifeachor), seem to be having a surprisingly normal time. Kate is shocked to learn they’ve been married for a month! They have a sweet story – it’s a second chance at love for both of them, having been married previously. Austin is a good friend to Kate, which is great. However, as someone who loves a lot of drama, I can’t help but wonder how much more exciting things would be if Kate and Austin were together, especially with the Wylers potentially separating. The show is already full of suspense, but with a long wait until season four, why not really push the boundaries and go all-out with the drama?

The White House is in an uproar as Billie tries to unite the staff, cabinet, and Hal around a consistent message crafted with Grace. The President wants everyone to express shock, sympathy, and separation from Rayburn, though not necessarily in that order. True to form, Hal proposes a different approach: silence. He believes that immediately offering a defense or apology would undermine their strategy of blaming Rayburn for the attack on the HMS *Courageous*, a move they still want to leverage to control how the story is told.
